The project proposal will enable district "Vitosha" to provide hourly integrated services to people with disabilities and elderly people over 65 years old, who have limited ability or are unable to self-service. The implementation of the project will improve the quality of life of the users by creating conditions and support for the effective exercise of their right of independent living and social inclusion, respecting their rights based on their specific needs and opportunities.
